Shed in Sweden Forum – 14 Sept 2015

We are currently the only Shed in Sweden. We’d like to change that.

To this end, we are organising a forum on 14 September on The Future of Sheds in Sweden. The forum will aim to bring together people interested in ways of improving social wellbeing in Malmö and Sweden, with the discussion focused on how Sheds can contribute to this goal.

Barry Golding: Possibly the most knowledgeable person on Sheds in the world. Barry is a semi retired researcher who has extensively studied the value of Sheds to society. He is in Sweden to attend a conference on lifelong learning, will visit Denmark to attend the launch of Sheds in Denmark, and will have a bit of a holiday while here with his wife. He has been kind enough to offer his services to us in Malmö for the day.

Nicola Ens: Nicola recently finished a research project looking at how we at Shed i Malmö communicate and interact with each other. She’ll give us an overview of her results and some recommendations of what the best way forward is.
